Max Maths, Year 2, Learn together, Addition within 100 without regrouping

In the Max Maths Year 2 curriculum, students learn to add numbers within 100 without regrouping. A typical exercise might involve finding the total value of a set of coins. For example, let's consider the sum 43 + 16. To make this easier for young learners, the numbers are broken down into tens and ones. The number 43 is split into 40 (four tens) and 3 (three ones), while 16 is split into 10 (one ten) and 6 (six ones).

Students are then taught to add the tens and ones separately. First, they combine the ones: 3 plus 6 equals 9 ones. Next, they add the tens: 40 (four tens) plus 10 (one ten) equals 50 (five tens). Finally, they combine the totals of the tens and ones to find the answer. In this case, 50 (the tens) plus 9 (the ones) equals 59. Therefore, the sum of 43 and 16 is 59. This method helps students understand the value of each digit in a number and reinforces their understanding of addition without regrouping.
